Tim Behrens is Professor of Computational Neuroscience at Oxford University and University College London, a Wellcome Trust Principal Research Fellow and a Fellow of the Royal Society. He is the Deputy Director of the Wellcome Centre for Integrative Neuroimaging at the University of Oxford. He studies how our brains learn and represent knowledge about the world in service of flexible behaviour. His work aims to explain complex human behaviour but is grounded in comparisons with animal models and formal mathematical theory. It has therefore made impact across scales from cells to brain regions and across mammalian species. He has also developed widely used approaches for measuring brain connections non-invasively.
